Wall of Kindness, gosh I love that idea.

I like that To The Young Who Want To Die. I had a therapist tell me one time when I was really depressed that just get through the next day. If you can get through one more day then dying can wait.

I am trying to break up with google but they have their greedy paws on almost everything I do. Redoing the blog somewhere else is going to be the most challenging but I am working on it.

Ricko: Please feel free to re-use.....

Mary: I'm sure somebody in the US will come up with a Wall of Meanness.

The poem is excellent, even for those who aren't so young.

Lady M: Switching to a different blogging platform would be really onerous; I have no plans to leave Blogspot unless they start censoring me. But using a different search engine rather than Google is very easy, especially since (from what I hear) Google search doesn't even give very good results any more.

If it's a matter of ethics -- not doing business with immoral companies -- I'd rank boycotting Amazon and Tesla as far more important.

Fair warning: anything supporting transgender ideology, or negative toward Brexit, or in favor of a military draft or compulsory national service, will be deleted. I am not obligated to provide a platform for views I find morally abhorrent.

On work days there is likely to be a substantial delay in approving comments, since I can't do blog stuff in an office. For this I apologize.
